“Tangier is one of the few places left in the world where, so long as you don’t proceed to robbery, violence, or some form of crude, antisocial behavior, you can do exactly what you want.” – Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown is a show that you should be watching. What Parts Unknown is, is a travel and food show on CNN, that premiered last month where Anthony Bourdain travels to places that are unknown to most people and give his very Bourdainian take on the culture, its people, and most importantly its culinary treats that to this point may be undiscovered by most. The show is wildly entertaining and I’ve been looking for a way to shoehorn it into a post on TOW, and when I happened to be watching the Tangier episode this morning and saw them walking down an alley, I noticed this soccer storefront and knew it would be a good Random Soccer in Random Places post.
You know, when I first saw this show I made the comment on my fb that I am fed up with foodie types on TV and in real life, and AB is the only person this side of Tom Collichio that I will tolerate talking about food for more than 35 seconds, and I found some episodes on youtube so that you can see what I’m talking about. If you have the time, check out the Canada episode because Bourdain and some of his friends have one of the most absolutely incredible meals that I have ever seen in my life. Just as a side note, this show is so good, CNN picked it up for a second season a couple of days after the first episode aired. This is one of the best written and best shot shows on tv. Watch it.
